OK .. about me, i'm obsessed with graphite and portraits at the moment. I thought it would have worn off by now and i would be doing something else but no, i still have no interest in colour at present .. graphite still has too many secrets to uncover.
I don't do photo realism and i don't want to either, my aim is to produce a drawing that looks like the subject but in my individual style. I'm obsessed with technique and understanding just how much each individual grade of graphite pencil has to offer, the more i learn the more i find i still have to learn and that is what drives me. Each reference is carefully chosen for it's unique qualities that i wish to understand ...
I draw to learn .. nothing more.
Yes i do commissions, i have a webpage with all the details.
Have a great 2013 people and enjoy your art :D

Hey !
so if i want to draw realistic drawings and get the right proportions i should use a grid ? do u always use one ? and if not do u draw up guidelines or something ? .. Any help and tips regarding proportions and starting off a drawing would be much appreciated.

I'm glad to be drawing again!! I'm taking it day by day ... some days it hurts too much, but others it's ok. One day at a time. Trying to keep positive about the whole thing, but some days that isn't easy. Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it!! :D
